Editing Kalimantan (section)

==Administrative divisions==

Kalimantan is now divided into five [[Provinces of Indonesia|provinces]]. It was administered as one province between 1945 and 1956, but in 1956 it was split into three provinces – [[East Kalimantan]], [[South Kalimantan]] and [[West Kalimantan]]; then in 1957, the province of [[Central Kalimantan]] was created when it was split away from the existing South Kalimantan. There remained four provinces until 25 October 2012, when [[North Kalimantan]] was split off from [[East Kalimantan]]. These are listed below with their areas in km<sup>2</sup> and their populations at the 2010 and 2020 Censuses, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.
